For the most part it is working fine. I would like to see the slap command come back (assuming no one will abuse it again) as that is what I would use to slap people shooting from spawn and could likewise be used for an MG or something that is spawn camping/ setting up in spawn. I was disappointed that slap command was revoked as I have it bound to one of my mouse buttons and could easily point and slap would be offenders that will not respond to verbal or text chat.

I'd like to see it back too. Actually, is there a reason why non-uber admins don't have access to the burn command? I know we have voteban - but it seems that burn would be more effective than slapping.

6. The true spirit of the rule is to stop players from being killed as soon they spawn, but we have 3 seconds of spawn protection to avoid this. So there is no need for the rule at all.

I agree with you DeUltimaPunisher, since u deployed a spawn protection mod this eliminates the no-spawn camping rule. If a player can shoot you from spawn you should be able to respond to the threat appropriately, don't tell me you can't hit them from their spawn because they are hiding, their head will always pop-up.

Because there is a glitch with the burn command where the sound of the burning doesn't stop and keeps going long after the punishment has been handed out. I allow for the vote burn because it let's everyone choose whether burning that individual is worth the risk of listening to it for the rest of the map. I could just imagine how fast I would get sick of that.

yeh that shit pisses me off the only way to get rid of it is to disconnect and reconnect

So I've noticed a lot of confusion on this topic while in server from admin's and regs alike. We need to figure out and set in stone wtf we are going to do with the whole spawn situation. I think that Firing a few shots while getting over the threshold of the spawn exit is perfectly acceptable. Setting up an MG or sitting in spawn and sniping ect ect is not. This is the understanding I have from everything. So we really need to get this ball rolling and a definite answer. No doubt it will take some time for all the regs and admin's who dont read the forums to adapt to the changes.

If you do decide to not allow spawn shooting your going to need an exception part for certain maps were it is designed to shoot in spawn.
